What will you focus on as you grow older? Will your focus be positive or not? Does gratitude and appreciation, for all you have had, come easily or will you dwell on regret?

Think Long Term
What would your Blue Plaque say? How would a biographer tell your story? What would you want on your Wikipedia page? Will your grandchildren retell your story?
Stop and think about your life. Where do you definitely want to go and what do you desperately want to do? What do you want to avoid for sure?
Then set your sail and focus on that direction and that destination.
It’s always best to think long term and where you want to end up. You’ll make different and better decisions. And your journey will align to your long term goals, not just the whims of the moment.

It is essential that you complete tasks. It feels good. You confirm you deliver. And, you won’t have half finished projects lying around unfinished.
Sometimes you have to work late into the morning. This is the price of peace of mind and success.

Play Along
It can be easier to play along with people than to confront or challenge them. Depends what it is about. If it’s something minor, this can be for the best. But as things get progressively worse, you may want to call time on the storyline.

Knock On Effects
Few things happen in isolation. We may only see the initial impact but usually there are other unintended consequences. Many ripples spread from the point of impact. Look forward and consider what else may happen from that point.

Start Improving
If you should be doing something, then do it. If others remind you, thank them, and do it. Stop making their life miserable for helping and yours less wonderful for not doing what you need to do.

Go When The Conditions Are Decent
Not when they’re perfect. Just decent. Otherwise you may miss the opportunity altogether. Better to have a decent go than a perfect miss.
